App Store Deployment

The MCoE has expert resources for all of your application build and deployment needs in production and development environments. We deploy to the KP AppStore, iTunes and Google Play.

The KP App Store includes caregiver, The Permanente Medical Group (TPMG) and workforce mobile apps for Apple devices.

iTunes and Google Play App Stores include member facing mobile apps for Apple and Android devices.

To get started with Stampede request a CI/Build-System On-boarding.
